today is going to be a beautiful day

January 22, 2010 By Kelle

…we will meet our girl.

contractions started here last night and we are casually sipping coffee and ready to head to the hospital in a couple hours per doctor’s orders. i feel calm and peaceful and soaking up my girl who’s a kitty today…

…and a butterfly yesterday.

it is amazing to think that today is the day her slippery little body will be placed in my arms, and i will inhale her loveliness…all that i’ve dreamed of for all these months.

feeling blessed.
oh, today is going to be a beautiful day.

    Kelle…praise God for the safe delivery of your tiny pink package of love! This little lady will bless your family in ways you’ve never imagined. God has sent you a little bit of Himself. We’re anxious for pictures as you welcome her into your love. God Bless
